Armor Specialization Effects
Source Player Core pg. 246
Certain class features can grant you additional benefits with certain armors. This is called an armor specialization effect. The exact effect depends on which armor group your armor belongs to, as listed below. Only medium and heavy armors have armor specialization effects.
Leather The thick second skin of the armor disperses blunt force to reduce bludgeoning damage. You gain resistance to bludgeoning damage equal to 1 + the armor's resilience value for medium armor, or 2 + the armor's resilience value for heavy armor.
